Cinema, Mon Amour, one of last year's outstanding Romanian documentaries, will have its UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The film is a touching love letter to cinema as art and way of life. With the support of RCI London, director Alexandru Belc will meet with the Scottish cinephiles after the screenings.
Cinema, Mon Amour follows the story of Victor Purice - manager, former projectionist and lifetime cinephile - and his two loyal employees, Cornelia & Lorena, in their everyday battle to preserve Dacia Panoramic Cinema in Piatra Neamt, one of the last remaining cinemas in Romania today. A sweet portrait of a profession, passion and nostalgia in an Herculean fight to preserve a culture, this will be a favourite for EIFF and Filmhouse audiences alike! - Edinburgh International Film Festival
